As I told you, you wont loose the data.
Anyway, if this becomes a problem (I dont see it) it's easy to get around with
some errorhandling.

I've used the DOM and it exits on the first error, telling me that the stream
is not well-formed along with the first errorous row.
I haven't had the opportunity to try the SAX parser yet, so I dont know about
that one.
However, as said above, it wont be a problem. It can be worked around easely.
